Hybrid game machine showcases best of both worlds

A video game fanatic in the US has combined a Playstation 4 and an Xbox One into one portable console.

Tech whiz Eddie Zarick crammed the two game consoles together into a 55 cm screen laptop format as part of a tailored job for one of his customers.

Since Mr Zarick unveiled his new 'PlayBox' in a video to his YouTube account last week it has been watched more than 1.2 million times.

"It's a 22-inch screen, but still very portable…," he can be heard saying in the video.

"It's a lot of stuff for two consoles inside one unit… there's a switch on the back that switches between Playstation 4 and Xbox One."

In a blog post about his new modification, he said the combined console has a Smart HDMI switcher inside that automatically selects the active input, so users don't need to worry about making sure they are on the right input. "Just power it on and Play!" he said.

The Playstation 4 sits on the left hand side of the unit and the Xbox One is on the right side.
